【题目】 When you’re a writer, finishing your book and publishing it is your biggest dream. You’re curious as to how people will react to it, and whether it could sell or not.1There are either things you want to change about it, or fear about people’s reaction. Still, you shouldn’t let these things stop you from going after your dream. Below are some of the most common fears that new writers face, and how to beat them.

Originality

For many new writers, originality is an issue. Considering there are so many writers out there, it’s hard to know if someone thought of an idea before you did.2And it’s not really pleasant being seen as a thief. The thing is that it’s hard to come out with something that’s entirely original as well. As long as you put the idea into practice in a different way, it shouldn’t be an issue. As long as you are able to cover a topic deeply, as well as provide a new and unique perspective, that should work.

People’s Opinion

It’s hard not to think about what people will think about your book, as they are the ones who have the final word. One of the biggest fears many writers deal with is how their book will be perceived by readers, and it's human nature to think about the bad stuff first. Not only you’re afraid you won’t get Instagram followers that are fans of the book, but you also fear the book won’t sell.3So why let this thought kill your mood? A book’s goal is to reframe old information or make new claims, so what people say shouldn’t stop you.

No Time to Write

People get busy, it’s normal. Nevertheless, it shouldn’t stop you from doing what you love.4You can take that time and use it to write instead. Nobody says that you have to write endless pages in a day – writing a book is a whole process, and nobody is rushing you. Make sure you schedule your time, so you have time to write at least one hour daily.

5

You want fans to connect with you and it can be disheartening when things like your social following grows slowly. Try using tools such as the best tools for Instagram as a means to get followers.

A.Therefore, you’re at risk of being accused of stealing from someone’s work.

B.Growing your fan base.

C.However, there will always be people disagreeing with you or not liking what you do.

D.Don’t let the details stop you from sharing your story.

E.But sometimes it’s hard hitting that post button, because things are holding you back.

F.You most likely have some spare time that you use doing something else.

G.Communicate with your fans.

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了新手作家在职业生涯中会遇到的一些问题以及解决这些问题的方法。

1

空格下一句There are either things you want to change about it, or fear about people’s reaction.提到你或者是想对你的书做一些改变,或者是害怕人们对你书的反应。再根据下一句Still, you shouldn’t let these things stop you from going after your dream.可知,你不应该让这些事情阻止你去追求你的梦想。可以推断出空格处应该是在表述你的梦想被阻止了这一主题。E项意为点击投递的按钮很难,因为总有一些事情阻碍你。切题,并且此项中的things和空格后表述的两种情况对应,都是阻碍你追求梦想的因素。故选E项。

2

空格后句And it’s not really pleasant being seen as a thief.意为“被当成小偷真的很不愉快”。ATherefore, you’re at risk of being accused of stealing from someone’s work.意为“你可能被指控偷别人的作品”,能够承接下文,正因为你被指控偷别人的作品,所以才会被当成小偷,且stealingthief形成对应关系。故选A项。

3

本篇文章为总分结构,空格所在段落的小标题是People’s Opinion,这一段介绍的是作家很害怕人们的看法。CHowever, there will always be people disagreeing with you or not liking what you do.和本段主旨相符,意思是总会有人不同意你的看法或不喜欢你做的事。再看空格后句So why let this thought kill your mood?(所以,为什么要让这种想法扼杀你的情绪),正因为总会有人有不同意见,所以不应该让这种想法扼杀你的情绪,C项能够引起下文。故选C项。

4

空格所在段落的小标题是No Time to Write,这一段与写作时间有关。根据空格前句People get busy, it’s normal. Nevertheless, it shouldn’t stop you from doing what you love.可知,人们很忙,但这不应该阻止你去写作。空格后句You can take that time and use it to write instead.意为“你可以花费这些时间去写作”,FYou most likely have some spare time that you use doing something else.意为“你很可能有一些空闲时间做别的事了”,能够承上启下,且与本段主题相符,并且选项中的spare time和空格后句的that time相呼应。故选F项。

5

本题需要选择段落小标题,根据本段最后一句Try using tools such as the best tools for Instagram as a means to get followers.可知,你可以尝试用一些工具作为获取追随者的方法,这里的追随者指代的是作家的书迷,所以本段在讲述的话题与获得书迷有关。BGrowing your fan base.(增长你的粉丝基础)切题。故选B项。

【题目】 Once eating alone was just that: sitting down in a restaurant on one’s own and eating a meal. Everyone did it sometimes, and when they did so, 1 . To eat alone might suggest that you didn’t have any friends. There was a kind of shame attached to it.

Nowadays, however, there is more and more solitary (独自的) eating for pleasure. 2 . “Foodies”—people with a passionate interest in cuisines—do it because all they need is the chance to eat good food. They don’t want company or conversation, but only the joy of eating some special dish. Other people eat alone because it’s simply practical for them to do so. For instance, it’s estimated that nearly a third of all the customers of fast-food restaurants eat alone. They are served with their food fast eat it fast and then leave fast. 3

But the appeal of eating alone is quite different. 4 . For the hour or so that it takes to have a meal, they can forget all the pressures of their lives. They don’t have to deal with their family or job. They can relax and let their mind wander. Maybe they’ll bring a book, a newspaper to enjoy a quiet time.

David Annand, editor of Conde Nast Traveler magazine, who delights in dining alone, speaks of his pleasure in the “rhythm of a meal in a restaurant—its ebb and flow (人来人往), the periodic arrival and departure of the waiter”. 5 .

A. It’s an experience of freedom

B. they might be a little embarrassed

C. People choose to eat alone for various reasons

D. none of them would feel bad about themselves

E. Sometimes staying alone is quite cosy when you don’t work

F. This restaurant rhythm allows him to sit back, observe and think

G. It saves time if they have a meeting or a child to pick up from school

【题目】 One day, when I was a boy, my classmates and I were going to pick berries (莓果). Before I left, my father said, “Harry, when you find a good bush, don’t leave it to try to find a better one. The other kids will run about, picking one or two berries here, and one or two there, and getting very few in the end. If you want to get more berries, stick to your bush!”

I went with my classmates and we had a good time. But it was just as my father had said. Once one of my classmates found a good bush, he called to the others, and they would leave their places and run off to see what he had found.

But I remembered my father’s words, and I stuck to my bush. When I had done with one, I went to another. When night came, I had a large basketful of nice berries, and more than all the others put together. And I was not so tired as they were. I went home happily that night.

Now I have worked for 6 years, but I never forget the lesson my father taught me. I always stick to my bush. When I had a good place and was getting on well, I wouldn’t leave it and spend days or weeks trying to find a better place. When my friends said, “Come with us, and we will find you something better to do.” I shook my head, and stuck to my bush. Now I’m running a big company. I owe(归功于) all I have to the lesson my father taught me.

【题目】 Now, according to a recent Brigham Young University study, the amount of time between sunrise and sunset is the clear winner among other weather variables when it comes to improving your mental and emotional health.

In this unique study-which brought together a psychologist, physicist and statistician-the researchers explored how someone’s mood is linked to weather and associated factors such as sunshine, cloudy days, temperature, rain and pollution. The study found that people are more likely to report mental trouble during shorter days with less sunshine.

It is generally believed that hot days, rainy days or days with thick pollution would make one feel more down and depressed. But the study came up with a surprising finding. It found that more than any other factor, reduced sun hours could increase mental distress(痛苦)while soaking up in sun makes things all right.

The results highlighted that the duration(时长)of the daylight was more significant in influencing people’s moods than the amount of sun rays being absorbed.

“On a rainy day, or a more polluted day, people assume that they’d have more distress. But we didn’t see that. We looked at solar irradiance(太阳辐照), or the amount of sunlight that actually hits the ground. We tried to take into account cloudy days, rainy days pollution… but they washed out. The one thing that was really significant was the amount of time between sunrise and sunset,” said professor Becker in a press release.

Many studies have attempted to explore the link between the weather and its effect on one’s mood, but the results were not conclusive. For this study, many important reason were taken into account-making the research an improvement to the previous ones.

The study concluded that public health should plan on effective strategies that can prevent emotional distress during periods when the sun time is less, such as in winter months.

1What will affect your emotion most according to the new study?

A.The surroundings.B.The amount of sunshine.

C.The weather conditions.D.The duration of sunlight.

2Why does the author think that the new finding in paragraph 3 is surprising?

A.Because it is a conclusion of three scientists.

B.Because it is different from the general belief.

C.Because it is too difficult to understand.

D.Because it is affected by so many factors.

3Which season benefits people’s emotion more according to this study?

A.Spring.B.Summer.

C.Autumn.D.Winter.

4What is the purpose of this new study?

A.To find ways to prevent depression.

B.To know more about the weather.

C.To provide strategies for public health.

D.To find how the weather affects mood.

【题目】 You might be surprised that dollar stores typically have a variety of products that can be found at a better price than regular stores—though, there aresome things you should never buy at the dollar store.

A dollar store is a variety store, meaning they sell a wide range of products. Party supplies, cleaning supplies, and paper products are some ofthe great, cheap finds you can find at dollar stores. But, not every product isalwayspriced at just one dollar. In fact, dollar stores often have a wide range of products atprices between $1 and $10.

“Dollar stores are able to profit, in part because operating costs are kept low by employing only a handful of people, and by limiting the amount of cold chain storage in their stores (which is necessary for fresh foods like produce),” says Minovi, a policy associate, focusing on healthy retail policies.

Dollar stores can provide a lot of items at a cheaper price, but that doesn’t mean the item will last longer or function at the best quality. With that in mind, these arethe things you should have been buying from the dollar store this whole time.

“Dollar stores in the United States typically seek to open locations in economically disadvantaged communities that lack a full-service grocery store,” adds Minovi. “Unfortunately, the food on offer is largely calorie-dense (高热量) and nutrient-poor, so this model depends on selling nutritionally poor food to mostly low-income customers.”

1What’s the obvious advantage of dollar stores?

A.Varieties of goods are sold cheaply.

B.Customers can get cheap but perfect goods.

C.Goods never bought at regular stores are offered.

D.All the products in the store are sold at one dollar.

2What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

A.What goods a dollar store sells.B.How a dollar store makes money.

C.Why a dollar store employs people.D.How a dollar store keeps cold foods.

3Which of the following does Minovi agree with?

A.Dollar stores make money by cutting down employees.

B.Much cold frozen food can be bought in dollar stores.

C.Food from the dollar stores is nutritional and healthy.

D.Dollar stores are popular with low-income customers.

4What is probably the best title for the text?

A.Locations of Dollar StoresB.The Service of Dollar Stores

C.The Operation of Dollar StoresD.Disadvantages of Dollar Stores
